KidSport BC — Hockey

My son just finished his first term at KidSport BC’s hockey program in Vancouver, and overall, it was a solid experience. The coaches were engaged, particularly Coach Mark, who really took the time to work with each kid. The small group size allowed for personalized attention, which my son appreciated. He now feels more confident on the ice and even made a new friend. However, the drop-off was a bit chaotic at times, with parents crowding the entrance, making it hard for kids to get settled. The investment was reasonable for the quality of instruction, and my son is excited to continue next week. I would recommend this program, especially for active kids looking to learn the sport.

My son participated in the KidSport BC Hockey program in Vancouver this past season, and overall, it was a solid experience. The sessions are held weekly at the local rink, and we found the staff to be quite engaged and supportive. Coach Jamie was particularly great with the kids, making sure everyone got the attention they needed to develop their skills. My son loved learning how to shoot the puck and even made a new friend during practice. However, I did notice that the pickup process could get a bit chaotic with long lines forming as parents scrambled to fetch their kids. A little more organization there would help. Still, I appreciate the inclusive environment and the small group sizes, which allowed the kids to really connect and learn at their own pace. I would recommend this program for active kids looking to get their start in hockey, with the caveat to prepare for a bit of a wait during pickup.
